sometimes you stalk a little on facebook discover that the girl your ex might be dating now designs dog collars. for a living.
i may not love the holiday, but i do love all of you. and i hope you have a lovely love day!
the photo is from DailyCandy. if you click through, it will become bigger image (by magic of the internet), one you can print it out, paste it to wall and throw darts at - preferably while imagining your ex’s face. the idea is not mine, but it’s good enough to steal. enjoy!
Valentine’s day can be tough when you’re in that tenuous middle-ground between relationship and one night stand.
You don’t want to come off too strong and scare your partner away, but at the same time you know that doing nothing will mean you’ll have nobody to drunk dial at 2am when your prospect at the bar didn’t work out.
There has to be a better way!
Well now, there is with Schrödinger’s Valentine! The card that’s simultaneously thoughtful and not.
for your nerdy, esoteric and entirely frustrating valentine
I maintain that this is still my best contribution to the internet and I will reblog it every year forever and ever.
i’m not saying that i’m sad because i’m single and it’s valentine’s day. i’m saying that on this very arbitrary day, as a human being of any relationship status ever, this photo is bringing my heart such joy!
here’s a book you could get me. and here’s how i came to think of it:
in Jen Doll’s first post for the Atlantic Wire, she brings to light new app WotWentWrong, which “asks users to ‘proactively seek feedback’ from their dates…and ‘develop insights and behaviors to ensure your relationship goals.’”
now i don’t need any feedback from anyone i’ve ever dated. mainly because their reasons would be as follows: “i needed to focus on my _____” [insert any of the following]:
since these are all them problems and certainly not me problems, i have no need for feedback. (perhaps a need for therapy?)
the app’s ultimate goal is to garner ad revenue and sell you stuff when you’re at you’re weakest. so, for example, if your past partner says your tardiness is the reason for the breakup then (he’s a fool) the app would recommend something like the above tome.
anyway, even if there’s no need for input, there’s always room for self improvement and i really am chronically late. perhaps this is something to add to the reading list?
i am deathly afraid of going to things alone.
i hate it. i blame it all on prom. but then, what can’t be blamed on prom? my love of taco bell, the scar on my left foot, my hate of dresses with metalic threading are just some examples.
alas, dear friend Lauren Passell, the hilarious lady behind Loop Letters, is helping people like me (needy singletons) handle social events solo, with their dignity intact.
takeaway: always talk about cheese. always.
